Can't be all bad. Today I spoke with a young man named Mario. Mario is around the age of 20 who uses gospel raps to reach black youngsters and young men his age. Gospel rappin isn't new. With more black youths needing to have some kind of inspiration for life, it's making it way back to the neighborhood, and inside many lives and with many local performances. Although gospel rappers have a harder time reaching the big time as far as fame and big record sales, it's not all about money at all! Most groups will tell you it's all about reaching the good that inside and changing a life from guns and drugs to find love, education and making a difference in their lives. The rapper I spoke with said "Young men and women must have the mentality to stay away from gangs and the streets." "Using rappin..." he says ..."is one way I try to keep their mentality focused away from everyday crime, and gangs to keep attention that there's good in them." Gospel rap groups often are small, or may contain an individual who raps about God and the bible to reach those who ears will hear. These rappers are special and the popularity for more their music and raps are starting to bring many troubled black youths to find ways to better serve as individuals to their communtity as well as themselves. I think it's great what this young man's doing to aid black youngters away for the streets and to a new view of life. Mario is looking foward to healing those negative objectives by replacing them with ideals of positive raps that teaches love...while he says...I''ll keep it all up and try not to get tangled in the ropes." I think it's working already because I see it has affected a change in him. He's jumpin!
